I have my monitor hooked up to my PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Wii U. I switch between them all the time, and I have used it for hundreds of hours of gaming and movie watching. So far, no ghosting issues.

I have used it for gaming a little bit (mainly playing Elder Scrolls IV) and have had no issues. Compared to a TN panel this IPS monitor looks very nice.

Hi Tkh,I had the same problem as well. I got 3 black lines across the screen. I wonder how long does it take for them to replaced the lcd screen. At the same day? Thanks.

I have had monitor for about 4-5 months I think now and no burn-in. This typically does nto happen with LCD's too much anyway. The only lighting issue is if the screen background is white it is BRIGHT in dark room. Calbrate the colors and it is wonderful monitor. Although the response rate is not as good as some monitors I play FPS's on it with no noticible blurring or other issues. I love the monitor and would buy two more to do an array if I had the money and deskspace.

I'd also like to know what settings other people are using. I have my PS3 hooked up to this monitor and blu-rays look terrible on it. My PS3 is set to 1080p output and still the blu-rays look extremely grainy and there's streaks in dark areas. I have no clue what to do. I took back another ASUS model because of this issue. I was hoping this one would be different, but it's not. Please, someone post your settings.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

There might be something wrong with the monitor, on mine, I have two of them. I see the post on the main monitor using the HDMI cable and when I switch the cable to the other second monitor I see the post happen there also. These monitors, I don't really have a lot good to say about them. I have not had one last more than 6 months. You SHOULD be able to see the post, even when the monitor is in sleep mode it should wake up fast enough to get that initial screen. Both of my monitors do.

I have watch movies, played games and surfed the web and have not experienced any color banding. I have had the monitor for months not and have not found any problems.

I had trouble getting it to look right. Extremely bad bleed through around the edges. Google "benq XL2420T settings". Good luck! I spent $100 less and got 3 acer IPS monitors and am loving it

As an admitted quality snob, I would be lying if I said that the monitor has no ghosting because it most certainly does. However, it is no where near dramatic enough to be called an "issue." The ghosting effect can ONLY be seen when a dark object moves across a white, or nearly white background. For example, you will be able to see a very small amount of ghosting on the edge of icons inside an explorer window if you quickly drag said window from one side of the screen to the other. Other than that it's unlikely that you will ever notice it. I have watched many movies and played many FPS game sessions without being able to detect any ghosting. Bottom line, this monitor will NOT disappoint. As an admitted quality snob, I would be lying if I said that the monitor has no ghosting because it most certainly does.

This model monitor definitely has a flickering problem as reported by many people and it is very annoying. Mine developed in the 1st 2 weeks and I returned it for a refund. Not sure what the Samsung warranty is but I would try to return or exchange it. At minimum send for repair.

Vincent, I have been trying to get someone to hook it up for me. I had the wires run when I built the house a few months ago. When i got the unit, one of the monitor screen was pushed back, I don't think the quality is very good. Or at least their QC. Sorry this doesn't answer your question. I may try to sell mine off because I don't feel that they will back it up with a warranty. I guess we get what we pay for.

Hey Jwag, did you get the TN-T2653H by any chance? I just got it a couple days ago, I also noticed the high pitched noise, and it seemed to be related to how bright the screen was (ie. when programs showed bright shots and when the backlight setting was set to 10). Did Samsung tell you anything relevant?

it was plug and play for me, no issues at all for the last 6months+. I'd say just keep exchanging the unit, or look for different seller with a different batch; and also make sure that your LCD cable is really securely connected to the panel, and that it hasn't been damaged from disassembling in the first place.

I have had my two for over a year with no issues. Gaming, Video Editing and photography are my main uses and it hold up pretty well. AOC did a good job on this monitor.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

This isn't caused by the monitor, it is caused by video drivers.I have an ATI card that did the same thing to it. Updating to the latest Catalyst drivers and setting the overdrive to 0% got rid of the letterboxing over HDMI. Everything looks awesome now!
